Programming and Interfacing ATMEL's AVRs

D+ muito bom mesmo!!!!

My GOLD standard for judging any book for its academic utility is very simple: if a book succeeds in explaining those concepts that others failed to address, then this one book is a clear winner. And, my latest book, "Programming and Interfacing ATMEL's AVRs by Thomas Grace" is one such book. My other books on AVR/Atmel microcontrollers had me unnecessarily struggle through their never-ending chapters, giving me nothing except confusion & boredom. I am one of those who do not give up so easily. I went back to Amazon.com to check for another Atmel/AVR text book, and purchased "Programming and Interfacing ATMEL's AVRs by Thomas Grace". What a big difference! All those concepts that seemed so cryptic now became so crystal clear (almost magically!). This magic I attribute to the author whose right approach towards teaching complex material (to beginners like me) made this book so student-friendly. This book passed my GOLD standard!! By the way, I am a 58yr individual. If at this age I could venture into high tech stuff, any one could, provided they have the right book to guide them through. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, especially someone making a fresh debut into the field of micro-controllers.

On est entre l'assembleur et le c, avec bcp de généralités en introduction (rappel algèbre booléen...).Bref pas évident de trouver son public

I am just starting to get into MCU (microcontroller) development at the hobby level. I program in my day job in C# but the idea of controlling objects in the real world really appeals to me. The learning curve with MCU dev is pretty darn sharp, and this book was very helpful with the initial understanding and implementation. If you are like me, you are going to be using a variety of resources, including books, web, and forums. After i decided i wanted to start with AVR chips, I looked around for what books were available. This one was the perfect starting point. This is not an exhaustive manual, but it runs you through the capabilities and usage of an Atmel AVR chip from the ground up. It includes copious examples of usage in both Assembly language and ANSI C. If you intend to use this book as a getting started aid for Atmel chips, you will be well-served without too much pain in the pocketbook.P.S. don't be spooked by the low number of reviews (4 at the time of this writing). The book gets the job done.

Actually surprisingly useful. Minimal coverage of the basics, unlike some books that dwell upon arithmetic. Should be read in conjunction with datasheets and Microchip example code. Fairly "studio" (and hence Windows) centric.The good,Not obsessed with macros/bit shifting and the like.Covers "settling" time for Data Direction Register.SBI PINB, PINBX for toggle of state of output pin (I had never heard of this before).Good explanation of comparators and their use with ramp waveform for A/D conversion.Good SPI coverage.Good interfacing device coverage, could have gone into big dollar items.Interrupt vectors, memory, eeprom.JTAG disable.Clever practical implementations.Less well covered (NB, to be fair these may be a bit obscure):HVP applications and methods.RST as output.SPI devices (varistors etc).Self programming (overlay).Low speed programming.External memory.avrdude, eclipse plugin, studio simulator, debugwire..Bit banging the non-UART tiny.
